Regardless of what exercises you may be doing to strengthen your core abdominal muscles, there’s a simple way to enhance the effect of those exercises and save you time as well.

The basic idea is to contract your abdominal muscles (pull your gut in) before you begin the actual exercise. By pre-tensioning the muscles, you’ll get a better contraction with the repetitions of the exercise.

Be aware that it will be more difficult to breathe doing the exercise in this way, but you will likely get used to it after doing things this way a few times.

I hope you find it useful.
